Following a massive security breach of its PlayStation Network and Qriocity online services, Sony says it is crafting goodwill gestures to make up for any inconvenience suffered by customers whose personal information might have been compromised.
"We are currently evaluating ways to show appreciation for your extraordinary patience as we work to get these services back online," Sony said Thursday, more than a week after the "external intrusion" that led to the probable leak of personal information tied to 70 million PlayStation Network accounts.
Here are some make-good offerings Sony might be considering.

9. Unpaid internship at Sony PR department, pending victory on upcoming reality show.
8. Sony customer service reps will co-op Portal 2 with you and not spoil the ending, which they saw on the Xbox 360.
7. Since PSP Go owners were hardest hit, Sony to give a free game to both of them.

3. Free download of "I survived the PlayStation Network outage and all I got was this lousy virtual T-shirt for this lousy virtual world" accessory for Home.
